Seminars For Engineers announced in association with D3 Consulting, a "Packaging Materials for Packaging Professionals" seminar Aug. 12 - 13 in Philadelphia.

Jun 30, 2009

This seminar is designed to provide an understanding of the science and applications of various packaging materials. An understanding of the underlying principles of materials science is beneficial when performing troubleshooting of packaging problems and in development of packaging. This two-day seminar covers fundamental concepts of materials science and then applies that to common packaging materials, such as plastics, metals, papers and composites. The instructor is Duncan Darby, president of D3 Consulting and associate professor for the Packaging Science Dept. at Clemson University. He is a recognized expert in the use and manufacture of flexible packaging, with more than 20 years of experience in the flexible packaging industry.

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.
